....contain other views, for grouping. Views can be semitransparent, i.e. the views underneath them may show through, and they can have any shape. This is used to implement toolglasses. The contents of a View is one or more Scenes, which are stacked like overlapping layers as in the multi layer model [6]. We use different scenes to represent a single document in order to control which parts of the document structure is visible in a page: main layer: places, transitions and arcs, no textual inscriptions except the names of places and transitions; text layer: all text except names of places ....

....version of underlying objects. For example, a Magic Lens version of a color palette would show the portion of the underlying objects within each cell in that cell s color. Each cell in the palette would effectively become a graphical preview. Another advanced interface technique is layers (Fekete, 1996), which creates graphical sets of objects whose visibility and depth can be controlled like overlapping layers of transparencies. Layers are an effective way of separating structural objects from informational objects. This allows the user to manage the complexity of the view by adjusting the ....
